Gold iPhones selling for $10,000 on eBay

iPhone Despite the iPhone not being released until June a number of solid gold iPhones are being sold on eBay for prices of up to $10,000.

Unwitting / stupid buyers are facing some harsh criticism over the bids while the sellers will no doubt get off with a minor dent in their 100 percent positive reputations.

Although all the auctions are indicating the buyer can expect the iPhone on June 14th we doubt that they have any special insider information. Since when has eBay ever given accurate information on this sort of thing?

Prices for at least two of the $500-$600 devices have been driven past the $1,000 mark. One sale that closes today had 38 bids as of this morning. Last best offer: $1,025 plus $10 shipping. The seller is eBay member tommy2224, who has a 99% positive rating on the site with 99 previous transactions. He has not yet returned an e-mail request for clarification.

For those willing to “buy it now,” prices for a standard iPhone range from $2,300 t0 $5,399. One seller, gperks46 (also 99% positive), is offering a “14 Kart (sic) SolidGold” iPhone for 10 grand.
